Hancock County Supreme Judicial Court (1790-1929)
Hancock County was established June 25, 1789, and the Supreme Judicial Court held at least one session in the County each year thereafter until the Court ceased riding the circuit in 1929. Originally established under the governmental authority of Massachusetts, the Supreme Judicial Court maintained jurisdiction over civil cases, capital cases, offenses of a public nature, and crimes against the public good. In 1820 the Supreme Judicial Court was reauthorized under the Constitution of the State of Maine. The Supreme Judicial Court was granted jurisdiction of all types of cases; all cases involving suits by or against the State; and all appeals of all capital and other offices of a public nature. The Supreme Judicial Court of the State of Maine had at least one session in all 16 counties until 1929 when it sat primarily as the Law Court with appellate powers in criminal and civil cases.
